Itunes will not load - help please!

Hello,
I've seen a lot of helpful responses on this forum so I'm trying my luck!
Yesterday my itunes worked fine, today I try to open it and I get the little egg timer symbol next the the mouse (I run XP) and the computer sounds like it's doing stuff but Itunes never appears.
I can see itunes.exe and itunes helper in the processes when ctrl-alt-del.
So far I have tried reinstalling itunes, deleting and reinstalling quicktime, deleting some file or other as directed by the online help and also scanning using ewido but none of this has helped.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
Alex

hmmmm. okay, if your itunes.exe is running continually in Task Manager, that suggests that you don't have the Qoologic problem that Ewido fixes. (with that one, the itunes.exe typically just shows up for a few seconds, if at all ... although in some cases of multiple malware infections, it hangs around for 10 to 30 seconds.)
so let's check on the usual suspects when itunes.exe persists in Task Manager.
if you've got Norton Internet Security 2005, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
... but if you don't have NIS 2005, or it doesn't seem to work for you, let's also check up on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading

  • Itunes will not load, someone please help!?

    i have read all the forums, and nothing is working for the technical help that I need, itunes will not load or work and no matter what help I am trying to seek, nothing is working. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, everything that people are advising but nothing seems to work. Basically each time I try to click on itunes to load, the timer appears but nothing else. I have just replaced my iphone and I cant get it to sync with my itunes so basically i cant use my phone either, please help anyone?! thanks, terri!

    I believe the files need to be in MPEG-4 format. Or that is what I am converting my movies in and it works fine.
    Movies you download off of iTunes are in M4V format, which is probably Apples MPEG-4 format name.

    You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
    you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
    then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

  • Itunes will not load all photos

    Suddenly, my Ipad 3 will not load all of the photos that are in a folder onto the iPad into an album.  I have a folder of 58 images and iTunes recognizes that.  When I sync to add the images, itunes loads only 53 of them.  I have repeatedly attempted to sync and it keeps loading the 53 images.  I took the 5 images from the folder and put them in a new folder and Itunes will not load them.  These images are JPEG's and are not any larger of a file than the ones that did load.  I have even restored my Ipad and it still only will load the 53 images.
    I had this same problem the other day where out of 96 images, it would only load 76.  I have plenty of HD space available.  I am at my wits end.  All software is up to date now and still same issues so not sure what the problem is.  I've deleted the iPod Cache folders, have a fresh install of ITunes and still no luck.  HELP!

    You removed the cache from iPhoto - correct?

  • ITunes will not load in Vista.......

    I have installed and reinstalled the newest iTunes out there and my computer will not load iTunes. I get a message......"iTunes has stopped working." and it makes me close down, but iTunes never loads up. I have checked the help/support pages and have found nothing and I dont know what to do. I need new songs and I can't do nothing. I can charge but not edit my ipod or upload songs since iTunes will not load up.
    any suggestions?

    I'm having this exact same problem. All my iTunes software is up-to-date. I've tried downloading and re-installing several times. I'm not very impressed with the Apple support. Has anyone managed to resolve this issue?

  • Itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

    itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

    Quit the app and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Itunes will not load

    hi- i have tried to install the updated version of itunes- but i guess i deleted the "music folder" from my computer- and therefore itunes will not load- how can i put back "my music" folder- where should i put it- so that i can load itunes- thanks-

    Next time you try to launch iTunes, do a "Choose library" as per the following document:
    [Using multiple iTunes libraries|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/9.0/en/15502.h tml]
    Now where "username" is the name of your XP User account, browse to:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Can you see your library in there? If so, and you select it, does your normal iTunes library come up?

  • ITunes will not load certain mp3s into my library

    all of the music i have has been tested as working mp3s both on and off the computer; i had a zune for about a year til a rainstorm destroyed it, and the song collection i have plays just as well through winamp/zune/wmp as it did on the zune. however, itunes will not load songs into the library and doesn't give any sort of error or message about it. my primary example is the three bloodhound gang albums i have, only one (one fierce beer coaster) will load in itunes whereas the others (hefty fine and hooray for boobies) don't show up, regardless of adding songs individually, adding folders, or drag+dropping from explorer. any ideas why itunes is hatin on my music?

    i can't seem to find a "itunes music library.itms" file, or indeed any .itms file in the program files folder for itunes. currently there is no music in my itunes library; i removed it all to try directly dragging files from explorer to the music section of my ipod, which still results in files not loading/synching. after it finishes i'll put files into the library and see if it creates such a file
